Wonderfull and a great professor. He has high expectations of their students and encourages everyone to always work at their best level to get "A". It's very sad that he is retiring.

Hamerski is awesome; it's sad that he is retiring. Clear grading criteria. Take energy if you need a science without a lab. Let's class out early, or cancels, every week. Makes you redo assignments in order to get an A. Easy A if you go to class and do the few projects

Comment:

If you need a science without a lab, take energy if your major doesn't require a specific science without a lab. Take the Tuesday and Thursday version if you can, class normally gets dismissed a half hour early. Good professor, you can take home the tests, and redo the homework until you get an A. He understands that we are not physics majors.

Great class! He allows you to take home the projects and exams, and allows you to re-do them until you get an A on all of them. He is very intimidating at the beginning of the semester, but I think it's just to weed out all the people who won't try. Easy A class. Highly suggest it.

Hamerski is so funny! He's a super nice guy and is very passionate about what he is teaching. He understands that elective classes are not going to be your main focus. There are no exams (just a take-home midterm & final) and several very easy projects; he lays out exactly what he wants. Very easy & interesting class. Class ended early everyday :)

He is by far the best professor I've had so far!! He is funny and very entertaining and his classes fly by. He makes you re-do papers until you get an A, and he's not too picky. Definitely recommend this class for everyone! It's an EASY A.

LOVED Hamerski! He is funny to listen to in class and he is very knowledgable about energy. He is ALWAYS willing to help with your projects/take home tests after class or if you can catch him when hes in his office. There are 4 projects and 2 take home tests i believe. A very low stress class that I would definatly recommend!

Easiest class ever. Funniest professor at Winona State University. Only four projects. You never have to go. You're guaranteed an A. Enough said, take the class. (If he isn't retired next year.)

Very easy class to take. Impossible not to get an A. If you can, try taking the class that meets for twice a week for 1.5 hours because he will never have class longer for an hour during these times so you always get out early.

Comment:

Seriously, take him! Debatably one of the best professors here at Winona! Not always politically correct, but VERY funny. You will have to TRY to get anything less than an A. He may seem frightening to approach and ask for help, but he is such a nice guy! He is willing to do just about anything as long as youâ??re nice! Take him!

This is the easiest class to take. He has cancelled about half the classes. He assigns 3 projects, they are all take home (so is the final) and you can work with partners. He's a really funny guy and he teaches in a fun way. EASIEST CLASS!!

This class is very easy if you attend class and take notes. He can be a little rude in class, but one on one he is very approachable. This is class is highly recommended.

This professor is really funny. This class is simple and yet you still learn a lot! As long as you listen up and do the assignments, you're fine. Not always politically correct, but HILARIOUS!

Not only does this class fulfill an odd requirement, it is entertaining. You have to show up, but listening to his political incorrectness and "kitchen math" is not difficult at all. Class gets cancelled a bunch, and we've never gone over 45 minutes for an 80 minute class. Easy, entertaining, good class.

Comment:

Hamerski's class is really easy. He allows you to redo every test and assignment until you get an A. All of his tests are take-home. There's no textbook. The tests and assignments can be challenging, but if you ask him for help he'll basically give you the answers. Make sure to take notes during class!
